if you can c ice put it in a higher gear so ur wheels r turning easily and brake softly if u have to, as if them wheels lock up ur fooked , and turn softly as possible thats if u have to turn. | |

quote: wel a car will rev easily to 5k cahnging down a gear will up it 1-2k max so no it wont damage engine i thing itll give some clutch wear but that just instead of your brakes when cars had non servo assisted brakes you were tought to drive to slow down using the gears | |

nope, cadence braking is a tecnique you could use, just go on and off the brakes quickly and that should give you some degree of steering/ braking. | |
